Ive got two tattoos at the moment, a small elephant i drew as a doodle and my mum’s tattoo artist boyfriend put on me (its not that great, all faded and blurred…), and my first REAL tattoo, a big thigh piece, deer in a frame.

Soon you will realize that that is not a “big thigh piece”. A big piece takes more than a…[Read more]

Welcome

This is something your tattooist should be able to do. Find the best tattooist you can then make an appointment for a consultation and bounce these ideas off of them. If your chosen tattooist says “just bring me the design and I will tattoo it” then you have picked the wrong tattooist. Good luck. If you tell us…

Welcome aboard!

I really like your doe.

Well, that is going to be a lot of black.

As for the plans, I want a Viking Face on my right shoulderblade and a portrait of a dog I had on my left chest. Those are my “fixed” wants. Other than that, I don’t care that much about spots, but i’ll be carefull to be sure i got a possible sleeve senario with whatever comes on my arms. But for full sleeve,…

Welcome to the forum!! You will find a lot of really good advice and plenty of opinions here. These people have taught me a lot.

Another thing to remember – if you get a smaller tattoo now then that space will be used up. You cannot grow more skin and laser is expensive. And painful. So although you want a cool little tattoo now, later on…[Read more]

Oh well thats what its from But I was thinking about getting the symbol and the words for a long time. (Still might) But I also think now I want to get a cross with wings across the back of my neck. What do you think about that?

So you have now changed your idea from a design that includes a pentagram to one with a cross???…[Read more]

BTW This is now one of my favorite tattoos I’m in awe.

Amazing piece. The light in it blows me away – it is almost luminous.

I keep coming back to this thread just to look at the pictures of it again and again.

I dont sweat much either but they do an operation I think to remove the glands don’t they lol? Bit harsh but!

I know there is a procedure where they inject botox into the armpit area to stop excessive sweating. The shots are quite painful and have to be redone several times a year, but it works really well.

I tend to swell up a lot while getting tattooed. I mean REALLY swollen. Advil and icepacks get most of the swelling down in just a few days, and it is completely gone in less than a week. I have the inside of both forearms tattooed, from wrist to ditch, and the swelling there didn’t last any longer than anywhere else. I don’t know why you are…[Read more]

Welcome to the forum! As you can see already, there are lots of opinions here. These people have taught me a lot.

I’m sorry about your grandma.

Mikey i think you just need to accept when you have made a mistake and take it like a man instead of coming up with silly excuses to try and justify the mistake, 99% of people have also made stupid mistakes when getting tattooed including myself. It’s very rare you see someone where every single tattoo on them is amazing.

I saw that this morning, too. I think that I liked it better before she added the butterfly. It was somehow cooler looking. But it is still a stunning piece.

My hummingbird is called Boo Boo, the peacock is “the Commander”, my first masquerade lady is Trixie while the second is Isabella (because she is a beauty). All the rest of my tattoos are inanimate objects so they don’t get names. That would be silly. 😉

The first one I got that I named was the hummingbird, not sure why I thought it needed a…[Read more]

This is slightly off topic but I’m curious so I’m gonna ask. Did give your bird a name? ‘Cuz I named mine.
